Hey guys..I have a humongous party coming up and I need to bake, or rather- put together, something fancy for 100 people. I was thinking of pre baking some pizza crusts and then chopping stuff up and throwing it on...I am looking for a really yummo recipe like that. I won't have an oven and only 30 mintues for my show....

Any ideas...?

Thanks in advance

Misty
 
hey misty
what about a trifle? you can make a cpl ahead of time and then show one being made.
then wont be as heavy as pizza on the stones :)
or the new double chocolate dip thats yummy
 
The cool veggie pizza is a good one, too.
 
I like Profiterole Puffs for times like these. You can prebake and prefill a few batches and then just make one batch of filling and fill a few at the show.
